For which shocks front or rear ?

Front's are stock scx springs

Rear is yeah racing springs. I think they are for touring car shocks I had.

I ran the Taco for few years. Time to build something else. Hoyt is correct I got new body set for it. I will be starting a build thread soon.

I contacted Dave @ DH fab after seeing a custom flatbed for honcho for sale. I knew had to have one.

Once I got the frame and bed and sliders from Dave I got it into roller.










Showing how I mounted the rear shocks.

You may have mentioned this already but did you have to shorten the rear-end of the chassis to get the flatbed to look right?

When the rear frame is mounted to the cab, can you lift it to get a battery in and out?

Pull the front body clips. Pull the cab forward off the screws from the bed. The screws have a nut.
